module CacheNesting Module

[JohnK]

Hey!

When I was building a little commercial Processwire website for a family member, I started looking into caching with WireCache and somehow had troubles to find a satisfying solution to organize the caches and their expirations. My site had a few parts that updated in a regular manner while other parts should be refreshed whenever the current page - or e.g. for the menu: any page - was saved. I wanted to create a cache of the whole page's html which should expire whenever any of its parts expired. This would be simple if you could set multiple expire values for one cache. Unfortunately, you can only set one. So I started to build a solution to my problem which uses the WireCache and creates a dependency tree for every cache. And since I haven't yet implemented a Processwire module and this little class might be useful for other websites, too, I thought I'd try to make a module out of it. This is it.

Please have a look, and feel free to leave a comment. This is my first module, so any suggestions are welcome. I am not even sure if my approach makes much sense for performance reasons. I'm happy to hear your opinions!

Thanks a lot!

I opened an issue on github and have a question.

Did you try this module with multi language support ? If page have multi language support what's happening on cache naming side ?

When i work languages with cache, adding user language id as suffix to cache name.

No, I didn't try this. I have not worked with multi language so far, but I guess this wouldn't be too hard to add...
